In my previous blog post I discussed tips on choosing a concealer. Today we will be exploring the world of colour correcting. Colour Correcting is a technique used to neutralise facial disclourations by applying contrasting makeup shades over them that cannot be easily corrected with the regular concealer application.
When using a color correcting concealer purple cancels yellow and is use to brighten dullness and combats sallow undertones.
Pink cancels brown. Brightens dark spots and dullness, cover age and sun spots in fair an medium skin tones.
Yellow cancels purple. Calms mild redness and cover veins.
Green cancels red. Covers sunburn, rosacea, intense sunburn and acne.
Red cancels green. Cover stubborn dark circles, hallow under eyes and tattoos on deep skin tones.
Orange cancels blue. Covers dark circles and bruised skin on medium to deep skin tones.
Peach cancels blue. Covers dark circles, bruised skin, hyper-pigmentation and brightens fair skin.
The video below gives a tutorial on colour correcting:
They are several options available but my favourite is NYX Colour Correcting Pallette because it is natural looking and compact with the needed colours all in one.
